SUMMER SHOW
LEAGUE FOR HARD OF HEARING
In spite of the poorness of the season, exhibits at the summer show held yesterday by the Christchurch branch of the New Zealand League for the Hard of Hearing were well up to the usual standard. The judges commented favourably on the quality of the exhibits in the cut flowers and decorative sections. The fruit and vegetable exhibits were also of good quality. At a “bring and buy” held in conjunction with the show about £27 was raised. This money will start a fund for a portable group hearing aid. In addition to this amount, the young people’s group made £5 10s with a miscellaneous stall.
Prizes consisted of plants given by Nairn’s Nurseries, Ltd. bulbs given by Mrs E. L. King, and hand-painted certificates given by Mr W Wilson Many plants were given by various organisations for the “bring and buy” stall. The judges were Mrs E L. King and Mr P. C. Browne.
